Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

description | It was discovered that sam2p, a utility to convert raster images and other image formats, was affected by an integer overflow vulnerability with resultant heap-based buffer overflow in input-bmp.ci because width and height multiplications occur unsafely. This may lead to an application crash or unspecified other impact when a maliciously crafted file is processed. For Debian 7 |
